Ning Wenjun was somewhat stunned.
He then felt like laughing.
He extended one long leg and stepped out of the car, instantly noticing the person standing in the rain.
A youthful-looking lady dressed in a pale-colored outfit was there holding a black umbrella.
With her exquisite face, she looked as lovely as a painting under the pouring rain.
“Miss, the car has broken down.” Uncle Chen checked the car and frowned. “I will call a tow truck. In the meantime, go wait in the car.”
Ning Wenjun snapped out of his trance and asked, “Where are you going? If you don’t mind, I can have my driver send you there.”
His driver immediately glared at him.
“Master Ning, you have just arrived in Green City and should be more careful.” The driver glanced at Su Huiqing and Uncle Chen. “Who knows if they did this on purpose…”
After all, with his high status, countless young heiresses have tried all sorts of schemes to capture his attention.
Ning Wenjun frowned at the driver before turning apologetically toward Su Huiqing. “I am sorry, he didn’t mean it like that…”
“No problem,” Su Huiqing replied curtly.
Her voice was as clear as always.
Even under the pouring rain, her voice still echoed in one’s ear.
She bent over slowly and placed the umbrella on the ground. She then took off her jacket and calmly folded back her sleeves.
Revealing her snow-white wrists.
Uncle Chen immediately sheltered her with his own umbrella.
Ning Wenjun thought this lady would return to the car to wait.
But…
She walked to the front of the car and opened the hood.
Let’s not talk about Ning Wenjun—even Uncle Chen, who had always taken care of Su Huiqing, widened their eyes in shock.
Actually, Su Huiqing wasn’t thinking much about anything.
After she returned home, she had packed up some of her belongings and moved out of the Su Family residence. On one hand, it was for the safety of her family members.
On the other hand, it would be much more convenient for her to conduct her matters.
After all, she had a lot of secrets which she could not reveal to her family.
She had a villa not far from the school.
She stayed there during the period just after her rebirth.
It would be some time before the tow truck would arrive. It was late and she didn’t wish to wait.
She was a professional race car driver and was more knowledgeable than those mechanics, anyway.
The young lady standing under the rain looked cold and aloof.
After just 10 minutes, she closed the hood.
She then accepted a tissue from Uncle Chen and wiped her hands carefully.
Suddenly, a van sped past them.
Splas.h.i.+ng a puddle of water all over them.
Su Huiqing was standing behind Uncle Chen, s.h.i.+elding her from the water. Her white clothes remained unsullied by the muddy water.
But her fingers came to a sudden stop.
Her pitch-black pupils narrowed dangerously
If she wasn’t mistaken, that was the infrared light of a sniper gun!
“Miss?” Uncle Chen couldn’t help calling out when he noticed that Su Huiqing had remained stock-still for a very long time.
Su Huiqing grunted. She crumbled the tissue slowly and turned cold, hard eyes on Ning Wenjun.
His car had license plates from the capital.
The license number was a string of zeros.
And the driver had called him “Master Ning”.
It was very easy to guess his ident.i.ty then.
He was coming from that direction, so it was clear he had come to meet someone.
Who deserved such a hasty visit from the Master of the Ning Family?!
Su Huiqing suddenly looked up, her eyes s.h.i.+ning with a harsh chilliness.
Even the pa.s.sing car light was not as dazzling as those eyes!
Her fair hand picked up the umbrella lying on the ground.
Without even putting on her jacket, she turned her head slightly before she started to walk off. “Uncle Chen, you head back first.”
Ning Wenjun saw that slender figure disappear from his line of sight before he finally returned to the backseat of his car.
Before starting the vehicle, the driver quietly muttered to himself. “Weirdo.”
—
Yu s.h.i.+jin was in his study.
He wasn’t reading through any doc.u.ments or meeting anyone.
Chief detective knocked on the door to tell him that the commander-in-chief was here to see him. He didn’t reply.
He just stood by the window chain-smoking cigarette after cigarette.
His ink-black pupils wavered slightly.
He had spent 10 years seeking her.
There was no way he would remember wrongly.
There was no way he had identified the wrong person.
So what the h.e.l.l happened today?
The heavy rainfall easily masked all smells, shadows and sounds!
Especially with such a sudden a.s.sa.s.sination attempt.
Even Yu s.h.i.+jin didn’t expect these people to make their move so soon!
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Several bullets were aimed straight at the study on the second floor!
Yu s.h.i.+jin’s cold eyes hardened. He dove to the floor, one hand breaking his fall while the other was reaching for the arrows tucked into his waist.
Without putting them on any bow, he flung them out as if they were darts!
Those cold dark eyes were terrifying under the lamplight.
The entire villa was filled with commotion.
Chief detective and gang had charged up to the second floor, weapons in hand.
Their movements were fluid and well-trained. It looked like they were familiar with this type of a.s.sa.s.sination.
“There might be changes to the mission.” The leader of the a.s.sa.s.sination team pressed down on the communication device in his ear. “Carry out plan B.”
“What is plan B?” A cool voice sounded from behind.
“To blow up this place, of course!”
The moment he answered, the leader realized something was wrong and immediately glanced up.
A girl was smiling calmly at him.
He immediately raised his gun and took off the safety, shooting at her without mercy!
Su Huiqing just flicked her wrist and the water droplets on her umbrella sprayed all over.
She quickly closed her umbrella and flipped around!
The handle of the umbrella knocked the a.s.sa.s.sin to the ground!
By the time her feet touched the floor, she had once again opened her umbrella and held it above her head.
At the same time, she had the a.s.sa.s.sin’s weapon in her hand. The dark nozzle of the gun was aimed straight at his temple. “Don’t move.”
